That’s odd. One guy who posts in here who lives in Spain said the lockdown even applied to where he lived - grand Canaria where there are hardly any cases?

Not odd at all. Have you ever tried driving from Barcelona to the Canaries?

If Italy peaked 6 days ago they said we are 14 days behind them we are gonna peak in 8 days ?

I think we get too hung up on all that sort of stuff, I find it frankly pretty shocking that we accept that its fine to benchmark against a country that has been overrun with it, but that's a deliberate policy to try and defend the abysmal response of this government.

Seeing all these right wingers triggered is actually hilarious. I didn't think there was such a thing as a right wing snowflake but boy have I been proved wrong.
Click to expand...

The right have been calling every man and his dog snowflakes for the last few years, but the reality is they are the biggest snowflakes around.

Like defending Tommy Robinson's violence, but in absolute tears when someone pours milkshake on Sir Nigel and begging for the guy to be jailed for assault. It's hilarious.

Or when a certain poster on here said Operation Last Gasp is a great joke, but suggesting Boris should take it on the chin is the worst sentence ever written in history and that person is a c**t of the highest order.

They can give it but they really can't take it. The hypocrisy from these bootlickers is mind boggling, but also very funny.

Looks like a few countries ahead of us are loosening the lockdown restrictions throughout the month, doubt we'll see anything like that till at least the start of May

The first study of people who have recovered shows a correlation between age and ability to produce the antibody. Buts its the other way round to likelihood of contracting it- the younger you are the more likely you are to catch it again, the older you are the more antibody you produce and the less likely you are to catch it again

Low antibody levels raise questions about coronavirus reinfection risk

Didn’t one of their leaders get asked why there’s so few cases and that’s exactly what he said.

Also general reporting won’t be as good as places with developed healthcare systems.

We could be talking 3000 deaths a day at the peak in reality. Scary stuff, I think we’d do well to be below 20k now.

Question is will we peak like Italy with looser lockdown? If so then it’s fair to say we’ve played a blinder, if not then questions to be answered.

Italy cases have gone up by 800 today on yesterdays figure which is a big increase, the deaths have dropped though

Today doesn't include Northern Ireland either- thats a massive rise in cases. We are some way away from the peak yet.

Testing has massively in creased as well.

We went over this yesterday. Positive cases will go up as you increase testing as you are no longer just recording the most serious that present to hospital.

You either need to wait until the amount of tests tops out or look at the percentage of positive cases.

Stop just looking at headline figures

It is but at least it is still almost twice as much as they were managing this time last week.

That said the level of testing is a national scandal

Testing was ready in January according to Hancock. There's been so much bullshit about testing I wouldn't believe anything until it's confirmed as happening.

I think NI was included (as they were announced early, if not they were 5 deaths and 84 positives)

The 5.5k new cases isn’t a huge surprise if we haven’t peaked yet (less than Sunday’s number of 5.8k)

If it rises at a similar rate tomorrow then that will be a lot more concerning. Fingers crossed

Total horseshit. The worst offenders are you spoit brat left wing lot. If things go against you your out on the streets trying to protest that whatever never went your way. Look at Brexit. Full of leftie idiots on the streets saying anyone who voted for it was a racist/nazi. Look at the Tories getting back in,same again,leftie knobheads screaming and shouting that it's not fair blah blah. Look at your yank leftie mates when trump got in. Fuck me what a load of spoiled babies you are. Some middle class leftie was in London protesting saying she hoped boris Johnson would die a nasty death. Ironically she wanted to be a doctor. Oh the irony. Its called democracy. Things dont always go your way so grow the fuck up and accept it. Ironically you preach democracy but then we have a democratic vote and it goes against you cry like the spoilt brats that you are. Who is it that's always out on the streets protesting and spewing their undemocratic views? Oh yes leftie wankers. You dont see normal working class middle of the road people kicking off. You don't really see right wingers kicking off either. Its you fucking lot. The country sits back pissing its pants laughing at you fools. Grow the fuck up accept things dont always go your way,dye your hair a normal colour,have a wash and get a fucking job.
